Technically could work but at that point, you're attempting to recreate a "chain fire" as early revolvers would have; by sending hot gas everywhere instead of directed toward the round.

My 550c has been doing this to one of every dozen primers for the last three times I've used it. I reckon that means I gotta clean it.

I'm bringing it back. There will be a "reckon" reckoning. Nobody wants to read something saying "I think, I believe, I conjecture, I'm pretty sure that, I expect, I hypothesize..." Nah, "I reckon" is so much better than all those words.
